[PATCH 2/2] ALSA: control: Fix UAF in snd_ctl_elem_add() on card disconnect

[Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>]

A use-after-free can be triggered via SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_ADD when a
USB audio card is disconnected while an ELEM_ADD ioctl is in flight.

The reproducer parks the ioctl thread inside copy_from_user() using
userfaultfd, then tears down the USB device.  Unlike every other
ALSA control _user handler (ELEM_INFO, ELEM_READ, ELEM_WRITE, TLV_*),
snd_ctl_elem_add_user() never calls snd_power_ref_and_wait(), so the
parked thread holds no power reference.  snd_card_disconnect() therefore
cannot observe it via snd_power_sync_ref() and proceeds unimpeded:

  1. card->shutdown is set to 1
  2. device_del(&card->card_dev) drops the kobject reference on the
     parent USB interface device (card->dev = &intf->dev)
  3. The USB core drops its own reference and calls device_release(),
     freeing the struct usb_interface, including the embedded struct
     device that card->dev points to

When the userfaultfd is resolved and the thread resumes,
snd_ctl_elem_add() acquires controls_rwsem without checking
card->shutdown and calls __snd_ctl_add_replace().  Because the
reproducer pre-registered the same control, the CTL_ADD_EXCLUSIVE
path calls dev_err(card->dev, ...) on the freed USB interface:

  KASAN: slab-use-after-free Read in __dev_printk

Add a card->shutdown guard immediately after acquiring controls_rwsem
in snd_ctl_elem_add().  At that point card->shutdown is guaranteed to
be stable: snd_card_disconnect() sets it before freeing the parent
device, and it never transitions back to 0.  A thread that acquired
the lock before disconnect sees shutdown=0 and holds the write lock
through the rest of the operation, preventing concurrent disconnect
from proceeding past its own controls_rwsem-less shutdown=1 store
(which happened earlier, outside the lock) from racing with dev_err().
